Well, first off, it was BLOODY cold. Not half as cold as others I suppose, but cold for the South of England. Anywho, fairly easy hash. Google Maps showed me that the hash was on a boundary between a wood and a field, so as the distance was fairly easy to calculate, I decided to go for a [[No Batteries]] geohash. Sure enough, on reaching what my amazing DofE pacing skills told me was 380m from the road, I turned on my GPS and found I had overshot by 22m. Not bad, I thought.

Expedition

Well, first off, it was BLOODY cold. Not half as cold as others I suppose, but cold for the South of England. Anywho, fairly easy hash. Google Maps showed me that the hash was on a boundary between a wood and a field, so as the distance was fairly easy to calculate, I decided to go for a No Batteries Geohash . Sure enough, on reaching what my amazing DofE pacing skills told me was 380m from the road, I turned on my GPS and found I had overshot by 22m. Not bad, I thought.

Anyway, I also got the Frozen Geohash achievement too.

No pictures until I get my laptop back from the repair shop, so for now just trust me. ;)
